Do Great Lakes sound like the ocean? I mean, like waves

12. Yes, depending on conditions

I grew up near them, and remember the first time I saw the ocean. I was expecting it to be this big special moment like it is in the movies, but it was a lot like the beaches I lived near, so I was a little let down. The ocean air is quite different, though, which I like.

Edited to add that I feel like some of the comments in this thread are giving the wrong impression. The cause may be different, but waves are waves. I live near Long Island Sound now, and it's more like a lake than the Great Lakes are, even though it's connected to the ocean. The Great Lakes are essentially freshwater seas. They have calm and rough conditions the same as any other sea. It also depends on the lake. Erie is calmer than Superior, for example.
